LiveTime Companion Module

This module controls the LiveTime software using the beta API that was added in verison 1.18.

Requirements

  • Must be on server version 1.18 or higher
  • Must have a server on and the Presets Engine module enabled (via an In-App Purchase).
  • Presets called by the API must exist on the same Mac that the Server is on. If using a Preset built on another LiveTime Mac, please use the export/import Preset functions.
  • The server password must be enabled.
  • API must be turned on in Live Time preferences.

Known issues

  • There currently isn't a way to set a timer without also starting it (API Limitation)
  • The "Reset" action's auto-start option isn't working correctly (API Bug?)
    • For now, keep that option disabled.
  • Time-of-Day is slow to show up when called (API Bug?)

(I'm calling those last 2 API bugs because they exhibit the same behaviour when the request is sent from CURL, so it isn't a Companion issue)

Available Commands

  • Timers (Main and Aux)
    • Start
    • Stop
    • Set
    • Reset
  • Presets
    • Recall by index
    • Recall previous
    • Recall next
  • Overlay
    • Show
    • Hide
